[Avodah] Court System Models

[Liron Kopinsky]

>Never does it occur that the court says "This case is high profile.
Let's push it up". There is no legal definition of "high profile".<

This is true. Each court in the US has too large of an ego to allow for the
assumption that maybe they aren't supposed to be deciding on a particular
issue.
My argument still holds, however, that since the only real way for an issue
to make it to the highest courts is with the financial backing to support
the lawyers, that the only case that make it are the high-profile cases, not
the most difficult ones.

To try and highlight my point, there is probably no example of any case from
small claims court being handled by a a higher court, however the exact
liability might be very complicated and in a halachik system would
(hopefully) have Rabbanim asking more authoritative people.
